Whenever a new C-Arm enters the market,
comparisons begin. Now that the Fuji Persona CS
has been released, comparisons are running
rampant. The first and most obvious comparison
is between the Fuji Persona CS and the OEC 9900,
so lets take a closer look. Theres a reason
the new Fuji Persona CS is capturing attention in
the C-arm market. It has a truly space-saving
footprint, as well as 30 fps fluoroscopy, a
flat-panel digital detector and quite a few other
impressive features. However, when looking at the
5kW generator of the Persona CS, questions do
arise.

First of all, is the generator powerful enough to
handle a busy schedule with long fluoro runs? And
secondly, would the OEC 9900 be better able to
handle heavy workloads since it has a higher kW
rating and a more affordable price tag? Lets
look at the generator and tube ratings of the OEC
9900 with the new Fuji Persona CS.

The OEC 9900 The generator of the OEC 9900 is
rated for 15kW, compared with the Fuji Personal
CS at only 5kW. But theres more to the
comparison that initially meets the eye. The OEC
9900 has a generator maximum of kVp 120, which
is equal to that of the Fuji Personal CS. The
generator maximum of the OEC is mAs 40, with
Fuji delivering mAs 50. The tube anode heat
capacity of the OEC 9900 is 300,000 HU, dwarfed
by the Fuji Persona CS with 414,000 HU.

And finally, the tube anode cooling rate of the
OEC 9900 is 85,000 HU/min while the Fuji Persona
CS is only 63,000HU/min. The long and the short
of it? Even though the Persona CSs overall power
rating is much lower, it has a higher maximum
output and the tube heat capacity is similar. In
fact, the Fuji CS captures an X-ray exposure at a
higher level than the OEC 9900. While you might
think the Fuji Persona CS would deliver compact
performance with its compact size, it can
absolutely keep up with the OEC 9900 for spine
studies, orthopedics, pain management, general
surgery, speech pathology, urology and sports
medicine.
